SHPO is frequently involved in review of borrow pits in Florida--primarily
due to Water Management District requirements.

Subject: state laws--archaeology & borrow pits
I'm trying to come up with a list of which states have laws/regs on the
books requiring archaeological surveys for borrow pits. I've been wondering
about "certified borrow pits" and realize that some states don't address
potential cultural resource impacts. I know that Alaska and Maine addressed
the issue-but does anyone know of other states where the SHPO or a state
historical commission is generally involved in the review of borrow pit
permit applications? Thought I would check with folks here before spending
hours on the internet and on the phone.
Thanks for any assistance.
